Answer:
x = 93 1/3 ft shadow of the tree
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by using proportions. We will put the height of the object over the shadow
6ft man 40 ft tree
------------ = ---------------
14 ft shadow x ft shadow
Using cross products
6 * x = 14 * 40
Divide each side by 6
6x/6 = 14/6 * 40
x = 93.33333(repeating)
x = 93 1/3 ft
